Koreans

Koreans

This civ is versatile, with strength across Ranged and Infantry -- allowing flexible strategies that adapt to any opponent. Strong anti-cavalry defense with Halberdier to hold positions against cavalry pushes. Good skirmishers help shut down archer compositions. Solid siege options give flexibility in how to close out games.
